This is a great idea. Now if only you could get the bus drivers to be on time...
I swear Strathcona County [Rural Edmonton] Transit drivers make a point of being 3-5 minutes early, just to thwart people who adhere to schedules.
Bad games that have 5.1, are no match for fun games that have 2.0
What do you need memory card slots for? You have your prescious harddrive. Go ahead, say you use if for ripping music... then remember you're on Slashdot.. people who want to rip music, and watch divx movies, will do it on their PC's..
Jackass. PS2 has 5.1 as well.
As for your Harddrive, way to go. I've got an 8MB card for my Ps2 that i can take with me to a friends house, instead of lugging a 25lb Xbox with me. And for reference, i've never run out of space, in 3 years.
There's a GOOD reason that Xbox is not #1, and i'd challenge that it's even #2.
They've worked so hard, to play with the big boys. Eventually microsoft is going to have to realize, that people don't want to buy hype. They want to buy a GOOD VIDEO GAME SYSTEM
Don't make smaller hardware, make better games. You can only play so much Halo, before you get bored.
This actually reminds me of a rumor of an old Phone scam, where you'd get a collect call, from a random caller. If you accepted the charges, you'd start being charged $400+/minute, while listening to some recording, devised to keep you on the line.
When your phone bill came in, you'd have these charges, that you couldn't have removed, because you accepted the call, and the Government couldn't do anything about it, because it was from over seas, and out of their hands. So now, because the victims are a coropration, suddenly the courts CAN do something about it? That hardly seems fair.
Whom do the courts look out for? Citizens, or Corporations?
Even if the museum doesn't want them, it's a well known fact that the old Commodore64 Monitors, make great televisions. All you need is some RCA cable, and you can input just about anything.

Shouldn't the US Gov concentrate harder on getting the DNA sequences of every American citizen, so that they can clone anyone killed in the terrorist attacks, wrather than focus on the materialistic parts of the country?
What's more important?

I think it should be pointed out, that advertising your jobs on hotjobs.com, or monster.com, or the like, is going to get thousands, upon thousands of Armchair warriors applying for the positions.
If you want Highly skilled workers, who do actual programming, you're more likley to feild out the position to real people, University grads/students, and computer consulting companies.
If you want a bunch of Joe Losers, who learned Java from Sally Struthers, so they could be rich computer technicians, working for peanuts, then you advertise on Monster.com
Just because the police are Trying to get a warrant, doesn't mean they will.
What ever happened to Innocent until proven guilty? How would you like the police going through your trash, if you were innocent?
This could help our Australian friends a great deal!
If Linus is a Saint, he could claim that he is also of the Jedi religion, and be the first 'Jedi Master'
However the more people, who are using these circumvention methods, the more likley the advertisers will switch to using other methods, to reach a larger audience...
Slashdot Mirror
Pioneer 10 Made it almost 30 Years without a reboot, in completely unchartedand unknown circumstances.
Instead of being cancelled, they should admit that instead, a peaceful, diplomatic resolution was found, and thus, the war doesn't have to happen.
See what happens.

You mean you don't understand the 3 seashells?
We've heard Mr Bush call the American people evil, and terrorists,
We've seen OJ Simpson in Fuzzy Bunny slippers...
Why should we not expect Carson Daily to get manipulated up the wazoo?

Where's the Quad Damage and the Redeemer?
Obsolete? HARDLY. I play my SNES more than i do my PS2.
They already did this in most Sci-Fi movies. Back to the Future II did it best(most realistic), where the darned thing never worked properly.
The real question is, what will they call this technology, seeing as how Microsoft will throw a fit at the obvious answer.
Unfortunatley, the theives didn't wait for law enforcement officials to show up, making it much harder to identify them.

It's good business
EST, MST, or PST? Or should there be division champions?

what's cute, is that i'm in the exact same position, reading this story on /. on company time... what a world, what a world....
